Temporary Romantic Hero: Not the Ideal Picture
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
An image that never matched up to the reality that lurked beneath
Person who loved to talk a good game, but had nothing to back it up with
Demonstrated to the familial masses that they wanted the brass ring
A tale where everyone got what they wanted and was happy about it
When in truth, they had no idea what it took to make things last
Switching careers like he was going through fashion trends
Ditching supposedly failing relationships when going got tough
Hated drama in their lives that was likely created by them
Choosing to seek complications instead of finding ways to ease them
Even ran from their responsibilities when everything fell apart
Took a much needed escape from reality to find themselves
Only to still be in denial about the truth of the matter
Lied to themselves and their loved ones to keep up a front
Said and did some of the right things to still attract dates
Offered just enough truth and colorful stories to reel them in
Without putting their flag on any plot of land in their future
A person who doesn't believe in forever or happily ever after
Always looking for the exit wherever they are currently at
Constantly found ways to pick apart anything decent
Decided instead to become the villain in someone else's story
Instead of finding a democratic way in dealing with challenges
Considered a coward for never sticking with anything of substance
Chose to be irresponsible even when having mouths to feed
A perpetual child that never really grew up; even when hair turned grey
Felt like an old soul when their maturity level stuck in high school
Ready for the latest romantic casualty to nurse their wounds
Moving onto to bigger and better things with honest people
Meant what they did and followed through on their promises
Easy for some; not so much for others
Time to pull up stakes and find a better plot of land to claim.
